Are you saying that legal matters are more exact than science?  In
legal matters you have something that is far simpler and with far
more errors of every kind. 

What do you mean by "prolonged existence of erroneous scientific

the world is not flat for a very long time.  Didn't the ancient Greeks
perform a fairly good estimate of the diameter of the earth?
